I am SO jealous!

Summer in the UK has been absolutely dreadful, I think the only sunny week we had was at the beginning of June. Since then, we've pretty much had rain, cloud and wind every day. It's what you'd expect as November weather. On Saturday afternoon, it was relatively warm with a short spell of cloudless sky, and I think everyone was in their back gardens that day, making the most of the sun before the rain returned on Sunday!

There's been floods in many areas with people evacuated from their homes. Thankfully, even though I live in a very flat area, there are no major rivers near enough to have caused flooding where I live. The closest that I have gotten to flooding this year is an inch of water on the lawn (yep, floating on top, the drainage system couldn't cope!) and the drains burst at the riding stables causing a lot of stables to be abandoned as they filled with water.

I don't think we're going to end up with much summer at all here, so send we poor little Brits a chunk of that heatwave, Kirsten!
